Fact Check:
The claim is false.
We did a reverse image search and found an article by Hindustan Times that reported, the image is from the time when Rohit Sharma got a thigh surgery in London after he sustained an injury during his match against New Zealand in October 2016.
We also found the image tweeted by the cricketer on his Twitter on November 11, 2016.
We found other mainstream media publication also reported the same.
Further, we also found a report on InsideSport dated December 31, 2022, that said the “India team captain, Rohit Sharma who is currently in the Maldives spoke with the doctors that are currently treating Rishabh Pant. As for the other teammates, they have all contacted Rishabh’s family and manager to remain updated on his health conditions.” This contradicts the claim made on December 30 on social media.
Hence, the claim is false. The Indian team captain Rohit Sharma did not leave Maldives to donate blood to Rishabh Pant.
